A hypothesis linking sub-optimal seawater pCO2 conditions for cnidarian-Symbiodinium symbioses with the exceedence of the interglacial threshold (>260 ppmv) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Most scleractinian corals and many other cnidarians host intracellular photosynthetic dinoflagellate symbionts ("zooxanthellae"). The zooxanthellae contribute to host metabolism and skeletogenesis to such an extent that this symbiosis is well recognised ...

Heterotrophic feeding by gorgonian corals with symbiotic zooxanthella [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1998 Gorgonians are one of the most characteristic groups in Caribbean coral reef communities. In this study, we measured in situ rates of grazing on pico‐, nano‐, and microplankton, zooxanthellae release, and respiration for the ubiquitous symbiotic gorgonian coral Plexaura flexuosa. Zooplankton capture by P.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.The dominant coral species in Dapeng Peninsula changed from branching types to clumping types. Fishing and tourism had significant negative impacts on coral reef development. Water quality and substrate types determined the distribution and structure of coral communities.

Mitochondrial electron transport activity and metabolism of experimentally bleached hermatypic corals [PDF]
, 2016 Bleached corals (Porites cylindrica and Galaxea fascicularis) were obtained through extended incubation (over 45 days) under light depletion and privation: low light and dark conditions, and heat stress (32 °C).

Increasing pCO2 correlates with low concentrations of intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate in the sea anemone Anemonia viridis. [PDF]
, 2014 Marine anthozoans maintain a mutualistic symbiosis with dinoflagellates that are prolific producers of the algal secondary metabolite dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), the precursor of the climate-cooling trace gas dimethyl sulfide (DMS).

Molecular genetic identification of symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae)
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1991 Zooxanthellae are phototrophic dinoflagellates that occur as endosymbionts in many marine invertebrates. Because traditional biological methods have not provided useful schemes for zooxanthella identification and classification, the natural history of zooxanthella symbioses is poorly known.
